Project ICON Magazin Germany · Neuer Look
In the latest editorial spread for ICON Magazin Germany titled Neuer Look, the fusion of high-fashion sensibility and timeless portraiture creates a striking visual narrative. Photographer Matthias Leidinger masterfully captures the intersection of maturity and style, utilizing a sophisticated interplay of high-key lighting and low-key chiaroscuro techniques to define the project's aesthetic. The series leans into editorial minimalism, favoring clean, neutral backgrounds that allow the subject's presence to command the frame. By featuring actress Charlotte Rampling, the project anchors its fashion-forward silhouettes in genuine gravitas, celebrating an authentic, elevated approach to luxury style. Fashion editor and stylist Paul Maximilian curates a wardrobe of structured tailoring, including crisp white shirts, oversized cobalt fur, and sharp black blazers, all accented by heavy metallic hardware that provides a tactile contrast to the minimalist settings. Hair stylist Gor Duryan reinforces the clean, polished art direction, ensuring that each shot emphasizes the geometry of the clothing and the composure of the talent. Through a series of intentional poses—ranging from full-length monochromatic portraits to intimate medium close-ups—the work serves as a masterclass in modern luxury fashion storytelling. The resulting collection of imagery is both disciplined and expressive, proving that intentional, restrained photography remains the most powerful vehicle for showcasing high-end fashion design in a contemporary landscape.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · Schnee von Heute
For ICON Magazin Germany, 'Schnee von Heute' captures a high-fashion narrative set against the stark, expansive backdrop of the Alps. The editorial centers on the interplay between tactile textures—ranging from feathered garments and knits to structured leather accessories—and the rugged, monochromatic snowscapes of the winter environment. Photographed by Andreas Ortner, the series leans into a minimalist, cold-toned aesthetic, utilizing natural light to accentuate the dramatic contrast between the high-fashion silhouettes and the pristine mountain terrain. With model Lou Schoof at the center, the imagery combines editorial techniques with a clean, windswept sensibility. Fashion styling was directed by Dennis Schneider, with hair styling by Uli Wissel.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · ICON Magazin Germany September 2026 ...
For the September 2026 issue of ICON Magazin Germany, photographer Katia Wik captures a fashion editorial that contrasts vibrant textures with classical architecture. The composition centres on model Isadora Ribeiro, who appears in an ultra-voluminous, feathered gown. Working with fashion editor and stylist Serena Pompei, the production explores a bold chromatic interplay between hot pink garments and weathered, neutral stone. The imagery utilises natural light to frame the subject against sculpted bas-relief details, while hair styling by Melisande Page and makeup by Nafik Bouchareb bring a dynamic quality to the editorial vertical.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · Uber Bande
Uber Bande is a high-fashion editorial series produced for ICON Magazin Germany, showcasing dynamic, gravity-defying movement against the backdrop of classical stone architecture. Captured by photographer Katia Wik, the project explores the interplay between avant-garde couture and weathered, historical settings. Model Isadora Ribeiro anchors the series, performing athletic poses and expressive, windswept movements that contrast with the static, ornate stone reliefs and urban monuments. Fashion stylist Serena Pompei utilizes a range of textures, from shimmering sequins and vibrant feathered gowns to structured velvet, to create a visual dialogue between modern fabric sheen and organic, granular stone surfaces. The editorial relies on natural light to highlight deep color palettes and precise tailoring, maintaining a consistent focus on clean, architectural composition.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · ICON Magazine Germany Spring 2026 Covers
For the Spring 2026 issue of ICON Magazine Germany, the editorial team has delivered a masterclass in narrative tension, trading standard portraiture for a cinematic, high-concept visual story. Under the collaborative lens of photographers Florian and Sebastian alongside Matthias Leidinger, the covers pull the viewer into a surreal suburban twilight where evening glamour clashes with mundane reality. The composition hinges on a striking, high-contrast aesthetic, utilizing live-action technique and artificial flash to anchor the models—including the iconic Charlotte Rampling and the evocative Lindsey Wixson—amidst a moody, purple-hued landscape. By positioning the talent around a silver station wagon while they wield smartphones as light sources, the creative team crafts a deliberate, voyeuristic atmosphere that feels at once intimate and theatrical. The juxtaposition is further sharpened by the presence of an unassuming pink garden hose, a small but vital detail provided by set designers Amandine Richard and Raphaël Singler that grounds the editorial in a tactile, if strange, suburban setting. Fashion editors Daliah Spiegel and Paul Maximilian lean into this contrast, ensuring the evening wear holds its own against the dramatic, sharp-beam illumination. This project succeeds by rejecting static stillness in favor of a lived-in, restless energy, proving that high-end editorial magazines continue to be the primary testing ground for innovative, multi-layered visual storytelling that blurs the lines between fashion photography and cinematic film.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · New in Town
For their latest editorial feature titled New in Town, ICON Magazin Germany masterfully leans into a cinematic night aesthetic, blending the voyeuristic tension of suburban life with high-fashion sensibilities. Through the lens of photographers Florian and Sebastian, the project establishes a narrative rhythm that plays with framing, perspective, and the boundaries of domestic space. The images, which utilize natural light and studio strobe to dramatic effect, create an atmosphere of quiet unease where subjects are constantly observed through windows, car frames, and door apertures. Stylist Daliah Spiegel elevates the visual storytelling, pairing textures like faux-fur coats and shimmering sequined tops with structured, vibrant tailoring that stands out against the muted suburban backdrops. This editorial minimalism is grounded by the presence of model Lindsey Wixson, whose expressive range anchors the series, while set designers Amandine Richard and Raphaël Singler craft environments that feel simultaneously intimate and uncanny. With precise contributions from makeup artist Sohphea Yen and casting director Tasha Tongpreecha, the series successfully avoids the pitfalls of standard lifestyle photography. By emphasizing deliberate shadows, light-filled starbursts from smartphone flashes, and rhythmic window-blind patterns, the team constructs a cohesive visual language that feels as much like a film still as a magazine cover. The result is a sophisticated exploration of the suburbia trope, captured with a technical eye that prioritizes composition, texture, and a palpable sense of mystery.
Project ICON Magazin Germany · Schnee von Heute
For the Schnee von Heute editorial in ICON Magazin Germany, photographer Andreas Ortner explores a moody winter aesthetic. Featuring model Lou Schoof in a series of textured outdoor compositions, the project captures a tactile quality through a monochrome palette and high-contrast visuals. The execution relies on natural light to highlight the intricate layers of the styling, curated by fashion editor Dennis Schneider. With hair styling by Uli Wissel, the series leans into an analogue film sensibility that balances environmental atmosphere with character-driven fashion portraiture.
